    We got excellent value for our money at Southern Light Country House. The room was comfy and the beautiful location surrounded by trees and gardens added to the charm. The staff treated us with warmth and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

    The food for breakfast could have had more variety.

    Good breakfast and nice terrace dining

    Too far from town and a switchback road especially in dark.

    The surroundings of the guesthouse were beautiful, with lush gardens and a peaceful atmosphere. The staff were generally friendly and provided good service. the breakfast served was enjoyable and satisfying.

    There were a few negative aspects during our stay. the hot water in the shower was not consistently hot, which was a bit disappointing.

    Nice garden and pool, terrace for breakfast, location.

    Tap came off, sewage overflowed under our window, maid forgot towels and toilet roll, dogs barking at 6.00am and cats wandering about in food areas, dead rat on terrace, restricted parking when all rooms let, proprietor not much in evidence.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at this luxurious hotel and I must say, it was absolutely outstanding. The location is perfect, nestled in a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. The surrounding area is full of lush vineyards and there are even breathtaking views of the nearby Kirstenbosch. Plus, the hotel offers a convenient shuttle service that makes getting around a breeze.

    This hotel is perfect for families, with a children's pool and a play area to keep the little ones entertained.

    I chose Southern Light Country House because of its location near Kirstenbosch Gardens Concert Stage, a place I really wanted to visit. The hotel pleasantly surprised me with its complimentary wireless Internet access and tour/ticket assistance. I also enjoyed the daily breakfast buffet, which was delicious and offered a variety of options.

    Coffee stand could be better.

    Great location, quiet and safe. Excellent breakfast with a variety of options. Friendly and helpful staff, including the manager and housekeeper. Classy and well-designed decor, comfortable mattress, and lovely garden area with pool and tennis court. Ample parking and good security.

    Nothing at all.

    We had an amazing stay in this hotel. The facilities were top-notch, including a beautiful garden, a nice pool, and a delicious breakfast. The hotel was located in a good neighbourhood, so finding restaurants and stores nearby was easy. Additionally, it was just a stone's throw away from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, which made it super convenient to get back after the New Year's Eve concert.

    Can't fault the property in any way.

    Great Location and Beautiful Surroundings! The gardens were picturesque and created a tranquil environment. The swimming pool was clean and refreshing on hot days. The breakfast was nourishing, with good variety and fresh food.

    Poor Service and Maintenance! It was frustrating that the staff were never readily available, making the stay unpleasant.

    This hidden gem is a paradise retreat! The pristine swimming pool is an absolute stunner, surrounded by lush greenery, offering the ultimate in privacy for an undisturbed swim. The attention to cleanliness is mind-blowing, leaving everything spotless. The staff's warm and welcoming nature made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The beds were so comfortable, and the seamless TV and wifi connection added to our overall enjoyment. Tucked away in a breathtaking part of Cape Town, this guesthouse is a peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The beautiful garden, filled with majestic trees, added to the jaw-dropping surroundings. The staff even provided impeccable service by going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. And how could I forget to mention the incredibly friendly cat who greeted us with more enthusiasm than the host! Truly an unforgettable experience!
